Ember.js: {{render}} does set 'content', but does not set 'model'

From my main handlebars dashboard template I am rendering multiple templates in a loop, setting the model as following {{#each forecastDispatch in forecastDispatches}} {{render "balance.forecastDispatch" forecastDispatch}} {{/each}} The dashboard combines multiple models and renders them on the same page/route.

From logging to the console, I can see that the BalanceForecastDispatchController controller gets instantiated correctly for each render call and the forecastDispatch model of type DispatchType is set as content, but not as model, model is still undefined. As the model is not populated properly, passing data to lower level components does not work. I thought that the model is just an alias/proxy for content, hence I am quite surprised.

What am I missing here? Any help is really appreciated, I am trying to solve this for quite some time now, but cannot find the culprit.

The issue was caused by snippets in my Handlebars template which were not commented out properly. As a result, one extra instance of the BalanceForecastDispatchController was created by Ember. This controller had off course no model/content assigned to it. In the Chrome Ember-inspector the controller was shown without a model.
